Should every conceivable : application be shipped with the operating system? : As far as 'tip' goes; typing "man tip" points you in the right direction : for setting up the "remote" and "phones" files. : What if I don't *want* my users to have POP accounts? ...among other garbage. At any rate, your post didn't tell me anything I didn't know, nor anything I didn't figure out BEFORE I ever tried to install *BSD. My entire post claimed ONLY that I felt much more comfortable with a installation package like Slackware than I did with the *BSD install. As I am STILL having problems with Linux' networking code, I'm STILL hoping someone will put together such a beast. But until there is a way to painlessly install *BSD AND lots of utilities I need, it's not for me. Thanks for the lecture, but next time, at least say something that hasn't been said. Rob
